**MSI GS30 Shadow: A Portable Gaming Notebook**

Imagine having a powerful gaming notebook that can keep up with your most demanding games, and also be portable enough to take on the go. That's exactly what MSI is offering with their latest creation, the GS30 Shadow. This sleek and lightweight notebook features a 15.6-inch display, powered by an Intel Core i7-4710HQ processor, which provides more than enough power for even the most demanding games. The notebook also comes equipped with a GeForce GTX 980 graphics card, which is capable of outputting desktop-grade gaming performance to external monitors.

One of the standout features of the GS30 Shadow is its ability to support any MSI GPU and reference GPUs from either NVIDIA or AMD. This means that you can install your own custom graphics card and still enjoy top-notch gaming performance. The notebook also comes with a 450W power supply, which provides more than enough power for even the most demanding systems. Additionally, the GS30 Shadow features killer Ethernet and audio ports, as well as a cooling fan to keep the system running smoothly.

The notebook's design is equally impressive, with a textured back cover and angular shape that makes it stand out from other gaming notebooks on the market. The notebook also comes with cool lights that illuminate in various colors, adding an extra layer of style to this already sleek device. The speakers are surprisingly loud and clear, making them perfect for music lovers as well as gamers. The keyboard is backlit and has a super-wide touchpad that is incredibly pleasing to use.

One of the most unique features of the GS30 Shadow is its ability to be powered down, slipped into a locking dock, and then powered up again with a custom GPU installed. This means that you can take your powerful gaming notebook on the go and still enjoy top-notch performance. The GS30 Shadow is also surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to carry around.

**Intel Performance Notebook Suite: HP Omen 15**

Imagining high-performance notebooks that can keep up with even the most demanding games and applications may seem like a pipe dream, but Intel's Performance Notebook Suite makes it a reality. One of the latest devices to join this suite is the HP Omen 15, which boasts an impressive array of features that make it perfect for gamers.

The Omen 15 features a stunning 15.6-inch display with a 1080p resolution and a 10-point multi-touch touch screen, making it incredibly responsive to your every move. Under the hood, the notebook is powered by a quad-core Intel Core i7-4710HQ processor, which provides plenty of power for even the most demanding games. The notebook also comes equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 86M graphics card, which provides top-notch performance for gaming.

The Omen 15 also features 8 gigs of RAM and a solid-state drive (SSD) that makes loading times almost imperceptible. Additionally, the notebook has a 2.5-inch hard drive for storing your files and programs. The I/O configuration is standard for a high-performance notebook, with four USB ports, HDMI out, mini display port, headphone jack, and an SD card slot on the right-hand side.

One of the standout features of the Omen 15 is its design, which boasts a unique textured back cover and angular shape that makes it stand out from other gaming notebooks. The notebook also comes with cool lighting effects that illuminate in various colors, adding an extra layer of style to this already sleek device. The speakers are surprisingly loud and clear, making them perfect for music lovers as well as gamers.

The Omen 15 also features a rear exhaust vent design that keeps the system running smoothly, even during long gaming sessions. The notebook weighs around 5 pounds, which is relatively lightweight considering its impressive specs. The demo unit we tested was running Shadow of Mordor with a desktop-grade graphics card powering this 4K display and running through the system, showing off the notebook's capabilities in stunning detail.

**Other Gaming Notebooks**

The HP Omen 15 may be one of the most impressive gaming notebooks on the market, but it's not the only option. Another contender is the MSI GS30 Shadow, which boasts an even more powerful GPU and a unique docking system that allows you to install your own custom graphics card.

Another device worth mentioning is the Alienware 13, which features a stunning 13.3-inch display with a 1080p resolution and a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor under the hood. The Alienware 13 also comes equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970m graphics card, making it perfect for gaming on the go.

Finally, there's the Lenovo Legion Y540s, which features a 15.6-inch display with a 1080p resolution and a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor under the hood. The Legion Y540s also comes equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970m graphics card, making it perfect for gaming on a budget.

Each of these notebooks has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, but they all share one thing in common: they're designed to deliver top-notch performance for gamers on the go.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso as a followup to our video showing some of the top gaming desktops that we saw at CES 2015 we wanted to do a top gaming notebooks one because actually I feel like some of the amazing notebook technology that we saw this week is even better than what we saw on the desktop so uh without further Ado here we go could this be one of our top gaming laptops of CES this year is this even a laptop I mean this thing weighs what 4.7 kg it's got a massive 18.4 in 1080p display and it is big like oh look at it it is thick look at this thing this is the gt80 Titan SLI and this is a whole new concept as far as gaming laptops are concerned it's got a core i7 4980 HQ processor dual NVIDIA GTX 980m 8 gig graphics cards did I mention that MSI is committing to offer mxm upgrade modules for at least two generations that are compatible with this as well as a cooling solution it supports up to four DDR3 modules for a total of 32 gigs of RAM up to four m.2 SATA ssds in raid zero in addition to a 2 and 1 half inch hard drive it's got their killer networking so it's got 2x2 AC as well as wired networking it's got a 1080p webcam but the real killer app for this one is aside from the upgradeability so you can actually access all those components I was talking about before the optical drive for m. MSA m.2 as well as two of the dims the other two are on the bottom and the 2 and 1/2 in Drive aside from upgradeability it is this guy right here this is a Cherry MX Brown mechanical gaming keyboard built right into this notebook and what is a true Marvel about this is it actually maintains the same profile off the desk as a regular mechanical gaming keyboard is this the most practical thing ever would it make more sense to carry around a mechanical gaming keyboard with you whenever you had to travel with your system I will leave that up to you guys but is definitely a oneof a-kind piece of machinery and something that will appeal to some folks out there I know this for a fact continuing our tour of the top gaming notebooks of CES 2015 out of everything that gigabyte had on display this is the one that really stood out to me not only does it have a core i7 quad core processor and it's you know got this extremely slim form factor great mix of IO with four USB 3 ports dual HDMI mini display port out it's got a glass touch pad it's got actually a fairly nice chicklet keyboard with a full number pad and macro Keys over on the left it's got a 3K or optionally a 4K nonn that's an EXO display on top of all that stuff .9 in thin it's got GeForce GTX 965m graphics cards in SLI yes this is a dual GPU SLI notebook in an extremely slim form factor and it packs a bunch of other stuff in there too instead of compromising the way that we see thin and light gaming notebooks do a lot of the time it doesn't have any limitations in terms of storage you've got up to three m.2 ssds supported along with a 2 and 1 half in hard drive and it doesn't compromise on memory with up to four DDR3 sodium supported for a total of 32 gigs of RAM our next notebook is a little bit of an unusual one yeah it features a core i7 quad core 4870hq processor yeah it's got 16 gigs of RAM it can hold up to two ssds and raid zero 13.3 in IPS display backlit chicklet keyboard beautiful super slim lightweight design and Iris Graphics well hold on a second lonus that doesn't sound like much of a gaming notebook well the real magic for this one happens in the box underneath it at the back of this notebook is a little flap that covers a full PCI Express 16x slot PCI Express 16x gen 3 so this is desktop class connectivity to this box down below that not only has additional USB as well as killer ethernet and audio ports but also a cooling fan a 450 W power supply and room for any desktop graphics card you could pretty much want MSI is saying you'll have support for any MSI GPU and any reference GPU from either Nvidia or AMD and all you got to do is power down the system slide it into this locking dock right here power power it back up and boom you are outputting from what they've got in here is a GTX uh 980 if I recall correctly you output to an external Monitor and you are having a desktop grade gaming experience except when you want to pick it up and be on the go and then you have a super lightweight notebook did I mention it's called The gs30 Shadow I don't think I did but that's what it's called so we found our next sick gaming notebook in the Intel performance notebook Suite I mean imagine finding some high performance notebooks there this is the HP Omen 15 so it's a 15.6 in 1080P model with a full 10-point multi-touch touch screen for me personally that is something that I do really appreciate it's got a core I 7471 HQ it's got a GeForce GTX 86m SSD uh I think this particular one has 8 gigs of RAM and okay so those specs don't sound really that amazing for me this one is more about the look aside from the very stri in material choices that HP has made for this one with the textured back cover as well as the sort of the angular shape to the way that it sits on the desk you've actually got this is kind of cool lights that illuminate in the surprisingly loud and clear speakers along the right hand edges you've got a red back lit keyboard a super like Mega wide touchpad that is incredibly pleasing to use and then on the bottom itself let's go ahead and close this bad boy you've got basically an entirely perforated surface along the entire back of the notebook that keeps it nice and cool it's got a rubber ring around the bottom so it doesn't slip around when you're using it on your desk and this is actually something that I appreciate more than maybe even more than I should so there's two rear exhaust vents at the back in addition to power in four USB 3.0 ports HDMI out mini display port out and a headphone jack I really like having IO at the rear I find so many notebook makers put iio on the right especially USB ports like if they're only on the right then I find they get in the way of your mouse hand if you want to actually game with the thing by plugging in a mouse for HP the only thing on the right hand side is an SD card slot and other than that it is completely clean around the outside of the notebook now this little number right here is a pretty normal looking gaming notebook it's got a 15.6 in 1080P display it's got an Intel Core i7 4710 HQ processor that's a quad core it's got a GeForce GTX 970m or an R9 295 XM in there for the GPU up to 16 gigs of RAM an m.2 SSD for storage along with a 2 and 1 half in hard drive and a pretty typical I/O configuration some lighting effects it's not like hyper thin or anything like that say at the back that's not a standard looking IO thing that is a port for alien wear's Graphics amplifier the box that's sitting right next to it so what this does is it's a proprietary connector that that features a PCI Express gen 3 Forex link as well as some other Tom Foolery to give your notebook both expanded iio so additional USB ports I'm pretty sure that's the only thing they got back here yeah some additional USB ports as well as a full PCI Express 16x graphics card slot inside the box that is powered by a 375 wat power supply so the demo they're running right here actually has this notebook running Shadow of Mordor with a GTX 9 80 desktop graphics card powering this 4K display and running through the system so the system is only acting as CPU memory storage
